What RescueStat does
RescueStat (formerly Stat PADS) is a US healthcare technology company that manages Automated External Defibrillator (AED) programs for organizations across education, hospitality, health and fitness, and logistics verticals. Founded in 2002 in Boise, Idaho by ER physicians Tad Cowley and Tommy Ahlquist, the company shifted from AED distribution to full-service program management in the mid-2000s and has operated for more than two decades in sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) prevention. Following the 2021 acquisition of HeartStation RMS, RescueStat integrated patented IoT remote monitoring technology into its offering, branded as ScoutRMS, and added the ScoutRMS MINI variant in 2024 for mobile AEDs.
The company's product stack centers on ScoutRMS, a cellular-connected monitoring device that senses AED presence and listens for self-test failures, paired with ApolloPM, a cloud-based compliance platform that tracks readiness, battery and pad expirations, training certifications, EMS registration, and state-by-state regulatory requirements. Supporting products include Vera Training Solutions (American Red Cross authorized virtual CPR/AED certification), EvaER expert customer support, and custom hard/soft cases for mobile AED deployments. RescueStat monetizes through recurring subscriptions for monitoring and program management, hardware resale of FDA-approved AEDs from multiple manufacturers, training course fees, and professional services for implementation and post-event physician review.
RescueStat operates a sales-led, enterprise field GTM with dedicated account teams and quote-based pricing. The company holds multiple "Best Places to Work" recognitions in Idaho and was ranked #4126 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies. On August 8, 2025, RescueStat was acquired by Cardio Partners, a division of Sarnova HC LLC, itself a portfolio company of Patricia Industries (Investor AB), integrating RescueStat into a national emergency preparedness distribution platform.

RescueStat competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- American Heart Association: Sets CPR/AED training standards used across healthcare and workplace safety, and runs its own training and certification programs. Comparable as the principal alternative training authority to RescueStat's Red Cross partnership, and a potential competitor or partner depending on certification strategy.
- American Red Cross: National authority on CPR/AED certification and a partner of RescueStat's Vera Training Solutions. Comparable because it sets training standards and offers its own training programs that overlap with Vera, and because Red Cross authorization is the credibility backbone for RescueStat's certification revenue.
- Philips (HeartStart): Manufacturer of the HeartStart line of AEDs, one of the largest installed bases in the U.S. Comparable because RescueStat sells, monitors, and manages Philips AEDs across customer programs; Philips competes at the device level and has explored connected AED offerings.
- Stryker (Physio-Control / LifePak): Owns the LifePak / Physio-Control line of AEDs and defibrillators, common in professional responder and workplace settings. Comparable as one of the AED OEMs RescueStat integrates with, and as a large medical device incumbent with the resources to add program-management features.
- Zoll Medical: Manufacturer of AEDs and resuscitation devices widely deployed in hospitals, EMS, and public-access programs. Comparable as a leading AED OEM whose devices are managed by RescueStat, and which has invested in connectivity and data services adjacent to RescueStat's monitoring offering.
- Defibtech: Manufacturer of AEDs commonly sold into workplace, school, and public-access programs. Comparable as one of the OEMs RescueStat distributes and monitors; competes at the device layer and partners at the program-management layer.
Direct peers
- Cardio Partners: National provider of CPR training, AED deployments, and program management — directly overlaps RescueStat's AED program management offering and is now RescueStat's parent company. Highly comparable on customer base (organizations needing heart-safe programs), product portfolio (CPR/AED training + program management), and go-to-market.
Emerging players
- Avive Solutions: Developer of an AED device paired with cellular connectivity and a cloud platform for AED readiness and emergency response coordination. Direct overlap with RescueStat's ScoutRMS remote-monitoring concept, but as an emerging player combining device + monitoring versus RescueStat's hardware-agnostic monitoring model.
- HeartSine Technologies: Specialist AED manufacturer (samaritan PAD line) focused on compact, public-access defibrillators. Comparable as an OEM whose devices are integrated into RescueStat's monitoring and program management, and as a niche device competitor with growing connected capabilities.
- HeartHero: Early-stage developer of a portable, connected AED aimed at home and community use. Comparable as an emerging entrant combining AED hardware with connectivity, intersecting RescueStat's mobile-AED and IoT-monitoring roadmap at the consumer/community edge.
